Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within: Difference between revisions

Line 27:

'''Jane:''' [[Lampshade Hanging|No shit!]] }}

* [[Collision Damage]]: Touching a Phantom is almost always fatal. Hell, most of the bigger Phantoms don't actively attack, but rack up a body count just by wandering around.

* [[Colour Coded for Your Convenience]]: When visible, the spirit energy is this. Phantoms (and anything else native to their planet) show up as red energy. Humans (and other creatures native to Earth) show up as blue energy. When the Phantom particle sealed with Aki's chestplate makes its [[Heel Face Turn]], its energy color changes from red to blue to signify its new loyalty.

* [[Combat Tentacles]]: Most Phantoms possess these; in particular, the [[Hand Cannon|Hand Cannons]] of the Phantom Soldiers had a variety of pipes and tubes which ''became'' their deadly tentacles upon their passing.

* [[Cool Car]]: Aki's ATV, armed with gel missiles for soft landings and an anti-Phantom [[Sphere of Power|barrier generator]].

Line 60:

* [[Mook Lieutenant]]: Major Elliott.

* [[Mr. Exposition]]: Dr. Sid.

* [[My God What Have I Done]]: General Hein, realizing that he accidentally let the Phantoms into a major population center.

* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: General Hein, realizing that he accidentally let the Phantoms into a major population center.

* [[Mythology Gag]]: Several references to the game series, including a Chocobo embroidered on one of Aki's shirts, and some of the Phantoms are based on creatures and bosses from the series.

** Hein is named after a major boss in [[Final Fantasy III (Video Game)|Final Fantasy III]].

* [[No Flow in CGI]]: Averted a little too well with Aki's hair.

* [[Non Action Guy|Non-Action Girl]]: Aki isn't a [[Distressed Damsel]], but she's clearly a non-combatant scientist who hangs around with four very competent soldiers.

* [[Our Souls Are Different]]. And [[Our Ghosts Are Different]], too.

* [[Pillar of Light]]

Line 77:

* [[Rescue Romance]]: Used, reciprocated, and helpfully lampshaded by Dr. Sid.

* [[Revive Kills Zombie]]: The ultimate example, probably: the Phantom Gaia and all of its children are expelled at the end of the movie by a ''healing wave'' from the Eight Spirits.

* [[Rule of Symbolism]]: The eagle. The [[Does This Remind You of Anything|suggestive]] placement of the Phantom tentacle that is cleansed by {{spoiler|Aki's child}}. The fact that the Eighth Spirit is {{spoiler|a brand new life brought into the epicenter of death}}.

* [[Run or Die]]: The Phantoms, being limitless in number and instantly lethal to the touch, are this. Best displayed in the opening scene where the Deep Eyes rescue Aki from the ruined city.

* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: Jane Proudfoot.

Line 98:

* [[Virtual Celebrity]]: Aki was touted as the first CGI actress, and Square Pictures was hoping for a long and illustrious virtual career. Too bad about her debut movie...

* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: The Zeus Cannon, once again.

* [[Well Intentioned Extremist]]: General Hein, though he takes to his task with such zeal he becomes a [[Knight Templar]].

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: General Hein, though he takes to his task with such zeal he becomes a [[Knight Templar]].

* [[What Do You Mean ~~Its~~ Not Awesome]]: One of the biggest publicity points about the film was Aki's strands of hair being individually animated -- which resulted in Aki jerking her head around wildly whenever she talked (so the animators would have plenty of chances to show her hair moving). This led to several reviewers joking about Square creating "the world's first virtual [[George Clooney]]."

This led to several reviewers joking about Square creating "the world's first virtual [[George Clooney]]."

** Even if the movie had been successful, this would have eventually been overtaken by the much more practical use of hair/fur/etc simulation programs such as used in ''[[Monsters Inc.]]''

* [[The Worm Guy]]: Aki.
